      Do not bbecome discouraged, sometimes God separates His own, even from family. When adult children turn away from you because of your relationship wuth Jesus, that is I believe is painful. We have the answer Jesus. Knowing that they will spend eternity in hell , makes me so sad

    I can sincerely relate to this title. 🤍 Speaking boldly in truth is going to offend the world, but the Word of God calls for us to do so. Walking the narrow path is not easy. I've lost friends because of sharing the truth of the gospel as well. May God continue to bless and protect you, Anna. He is our refuge and strength; He will bring the right people into our lives. If anyone has prayer requests, please do share! Praying for all 🫶🏽🕊️

    Because of my faith, I have not only lost my friends but also my sister and brother. My father was an alcoholic and my mother was totally misguided. My grandparents died so early that I never knew them. God has replaced everything in abundance. Even the deceased grandparents. He is truly Lord over everything. (❤ Erica from Switzerland❤)

    I had confronted a friend asking if there was anything I had done to offend her once I saw she had excluded me from her Bible study fellowship. She was not forthcoming and decided to pretend like there was nothing wrong. Unfortunately, she was kind in person when others were around, but ghosted me behind closed doors. I still miss her but, I realize, that it wasn't true friendship. Great words of inspiration!

    I almost cried watching this… I have been boldly speaking the truth and the backlash has been really hard. It’s uncomfortable to be out there, “unashamed of the gospel of Christ” when you are standing against people who are rejecting you or calling you terrible things and saying that you are judgmental. Thank you for this video. It showed up in my feed and I wasn’t subscribed to you, and I know that was a little divine timing from the Lord. 💛

    Your voice is so soothing.the connection I have to this video soon I as clicked on it. I have become isolated and lost almost all my friends. God isolated me to get rid of all the drama and focus on true meaning. I have bare minimum and feel better. God has me at a stand still,I have faith in his timing for my next step. I think he is building my faith. I had gut feeling at first that my life was going in the wrong direction. It got so bad I was going into work feeling sick when I clocked in. God didn’t want me there no more, I worked there 25 years. That gut feeling turned out to be the Holy Spirit guiding me out of miserable situations. Hope you see this comment, would like to talk to you. Love your video

    I actually recently went without CZcams intentionally for a week. It doesn't sounds like much but I've noticed I've been more hooked on screens in my limited spare time but I'd like that time for reading my bible or on other activities not on screens.
    I think it is fitting this was the first video I watched once I came back on.
    I have lived a life serving others but still way too much unto myself and been to carnal. God's been working for a decade I me but I still need so much more from Him.
    I have lost many family and friends being on this road because I didn't want to let sin consume my life but it was seen as self righteous instead of a good thing.
    I subscribed and I pray the Lord continues to change me and make me less carnal. He is working.
    Thank you for the scripture. Our Biblestudy reads the KJV because it hasn't been through a ton of translations and isn't from a corrupted source. We want the truth, as you mentioned, in it's purest form.

    "Soft language makes soft people." George Carlin
    When I try to engage in conversation with others, I am reminded of this quote by George Carlin. The advantage of taking this walk at 52 is that you have lived and learned from your mistakes. That's the place I am at. People who stopped being friends with you over telling the truth of Christ and from his teaching weren't your friends to start with.
    Keep being who you are. Just remember, more and more Americans are seeing the insanity of our society. We are looking at a great country like Russia, which is holding the teaching of Christ and their Orthodox Christian values as more important than Western acceptance. We are realizing that the insanity of our society and we are done with it. We want the values we grew up back over socially acceptance.

    I never had really any friends from childhood...I was the weirdo kid that did things differently, probably was a bit autistic..but autism wasn't really a thing when I was a kid in the 80s and teen in the 90s. I was always a believer, but lukewarm to freezing as I joined the Army...I tried being part of the crowd to have people to hang out with and started drinking to hang out. That lead me to rush into a loveless marriage cause she was the first to show Interest, but it was just cause I was safe cause I was military. Her issues causes us to lose our first child, and now I'm caring for my son on my own. I came back to Christ 5 years ago at the age of 40 after going down a dark path online. I walked away from social media and none of those so called "friends" try looking me up. After I told one friend I no longer drink I haven't heard anything.

Still wears incontinent pull-ups and not many know how to gwt him to go to the bathroom or want to deal with that. To me also, most churches have gone too apostate. I mainly read the Bible more, pray more on my own, and tey and find decent YT channels annd podcasts....those last is really hard, especially with the rise of Christian nationalism

    Yes exactly me. I just shared the truth about something in the community whatsapp group and someone came to me to tell me how bad it was... how mean. it actually made me cry to know that maybe it was a sin to share such bare thuth and to show people that there is a right way.
    It was so stupid, I shared to them where they can buy organic, localy grown meat and that I could help them if they want to get it, because it is sold near my work place.
    And there is nothing bad in my opinion to show it is possible to eat meat without chemicals and shitty things in it, but this woman got so upset with me.....she said " I think you are unaware of things. that you write this in public" -which was my intention! that as many people as I can in my community would know where to get organic free range meat and especially local (which is super rare here)....
    I felt like, I had hurt people that maybe are vegan or anthing like this that don't like meat no matter what. but how can I know what everyone eat?
    I just felt so good that I can share places to buy organic and local.
    it is important to say that we had disscusions before about where to buy organic...

There’s so much in Proverbs concerning this and how to love your neighbor as yourself ❤
    In the book of John- Jesus heals the blind man and bc the healed man believed that Jesus is the Son Of God & that He is the Annointed One The Christ- The man was kicked out of the synagogue, But Jesus found him and comforted him ❤
    Here is the love and comfort of our Savior when we choose to speak the truth in love & are cast out, He seeks us and stands with us. We are never alone when we walk with him 🙌🏼 Read John Chpt. 9 for the story.

    Kids, as a psychiatrist, I can say with certainty that the content of this video can be categorized as cult belief. There is finally a push by our conference to consider fundamentalist religion as a form of psychosis and likely a form of developed psychopathy. This woman talks about losing close friends and family due to belief, please understand that being ok with this is not normal social behavior. I’m not with this specific case, but usually there is a form of shared delusion between a believer and the community they belong to, and my delusion I mean a fixed false and irrational belief, usually one related to an invisible authority with the ability to punish. This can slowly erode the ability for reality testing, that is clearly seen here. I was a Christian growing up, and deconversion for me was a result of getting mental health treatment and realizing that the abusive doctrine I had internalized was not discoverable, but was indoctrinated. Peeling back layers of belief is difficult and people often have strong defense mechanisms to rationalize their past religious beliefs and behavior. There are studies that have shown true emotional trauma can result from telling children their world is broken and evil and people suffer eternally. Christians will use apologetics to defend faith, view these individuals as illusionists combined with used car saleman. Do not ignore what your conscience tells you as this woman continues to do, the idea that answers to life’s big questions is found in a Bronze Age blood cult is laughable but also very serious. If you are the friends of this woman, don’t give up trying to speak logic with love. People deconvert in very small steps after thousands of cracks develop in their belief, and this takes time.
    NAMI is a great resource for family/friends dealing with a person like this in their lives.

    • @AnnaDysett
      @AnnaDysett  Před 2 měsíci +8

      I also have a degree in sociology/criminal justice and took my fair share of psychology classes. I understand your concerns, and there are religions and denominations that bring about loads of abuse. However, you are coming from a perspective of someone who has never had an encounter with Jesus and feel that this world is all there is. I did not want anything to do with Christianity, and I also thought Christians were brainwashed before my personal encounter with demons when seeking the truth of Jesus Christ. I ask that you look further into testimonies of regular people who lived a life their way and did their research and fell on Jesus being the way and truth. If you have never done any research on the resurrection, I would maybe start there. I personally looked in to the resurrection trying to debunk it - so you can try that out. And then maybe study and actually read the entire Bible and find some contradictions before drawing conclusions that it’s laughable. I’m not asking you to believe. In fact, I prefer you go in just as skeptical as you are.. but I do think it’s fair that you do your due diligence and become educated on the topic before passing judgment on it.

      @MartyMcFly1085 Thank you for speaking up here! There are many concerning elements to this video and it has very high control/cult vibes. The tone of voice is soothing but speaking for "truth" in such a generic sense and implying she knows what "god says" is very vague and can make a lot of people feel good about anything they believe. Seems like a lot of self righteousness and potential narcissism to me.
